[QUOTE="keista, post: 462237, member: 11965"] I understand the blase attitude about "just removing it" when you're done having kids. doctors are still really learning the differences between men and women, let alone all the minutia details that makes any particular woman tick. Uterine cancer is missed all the time until it is too late. If the uterus is causing problems 'they' can't figure out, then it has to come out. From a dr's perspective, after treating a gazillion such patients, why not just make it a standard procedure and avoid the problems altogether? Hysterectomy does not necessarily mean oophorectomy where the ovaries are taken as well. Hysterectomy has minimal if any hormonal effect and does away with the monthly cycle without doing away with monthly hormones. I personally don't think any form of surgery should become standard and usual, but can see how a Dr who sees more problems than benefits of a body part would 'go there'. [/QUOTE]
